HomeMy WebLinkAboutUndated Proposed Ideas Enhancement of Aquaculture - the clam "raceways" (flowing cultivation chambers)
presently located on the dock will be renovated to allow for better visibility as an
education venue for visitors.
Install a "retro" style push-car rail system along the south dock and to Hurricane
Harbor. This system allows for the loading of ice, bait, equipment and other
supplies to the fishing vessels. This system will also help fisherman move their
daily catch from the dock to the Hurricane Harbor building for packing.
Discuss the proposed uses for all existing facilities — all activities at the
facilities should be directly related and further the Working Waterfront
program
Retail fish market - promotion of the seafood industry by offering seafood,
aquaculture and limited food service
Museum — interactive and static displays showing Sebastian's fishing heritage and
offering a community meeting room, gift shop or various educational seminars.
Interpretive Kiosks — interactive signage at each facility.
"Wet" exhibits of clam raceway, showing clams from seedling size to various
stages.
Ice Depot— provision of ice to commercial fishing
Dock — Commercial dockage available for lease to commercial fisherman
Fish House — rebuild a historic structure
"Retro" rail system — install the railroad and push car system to interconnectthe two
sites and facilitate moving of supplies.
Aquaculture —these are trays that stacked provide flowing cultivation chambers for
clams, oysters or other fresh water marine organisms.
